I like how it  reclines and swivels. gliding wasn’t A necessity but it’s a nice feature.  A big con is that it is extremely hard to kick the foot rest back in. you need to have Some strong hamstrings otherwise you need to stand up and  karate kick it back in. The Charcoal is a very dark gray almost blue denim  in color. It does go with our pillows and couch so I like that.  It’s comfortable.  It came well packaged, and quick  easy assemble despite some less than specific instruction manual photos. Price is right for its features. Time will tell on its durability and long-term comfort, But again at this price point I would buy again.
